These ten short, unpublished texts by the painter Odilon Redon (1840-1916) reveal a little-known aspect of his creative work. They are fantastical in that they bring together the everyday environment and the enigmatic universe, the tangible and the irrational. In her introduction, Alexandra Strauss situates them in their context and comments on the image-text relationship for each. A graphic work by Redon appears as the frontispiece of each of these short stories.
